Iran’s foreign minister said in this conversation that there are currently more than 4.5 million Afghan immigrants in Iran and that the country needs the support of the international community to provide services for these immigrants.

Regarding Afghanistan, he added that the formation of an inclusive government in which all ethnic groups have strong participation can establish peace and stability in Afghanistan.
